Red Glitter Heart

I really love hearts.

This morning I spent some time making a decorative heart.
I used beautiful red glitter mini glass mosaic tiles.
They are just gorgeous and made the heart feel red hot and alive.

I'll grout it in a few days and then all it needs is a pretty string so it can hang anywhere... perhaps even on a christmas tree!

Etsy shop is open for business!

Finally I have started placing my work on Etsy.
Slowly, one by one, I am adding my pieces.

Please drop by and have a look.

Zelfgemaakte Markt - What a day!

Today was the Zelfgemaakte Markt - gezellig!

A big thank you to everybody who came to see me at my stall.

It was a great experience and I have certainly learnt a lot.

Go away clouds! Please?

Today is the day that I plan on taking photos of all my work that will be at the market tomorrow.

But for some reason the weather is playing tricks on me.

I had the same problem yesterday.

Clouds, clouds go away, come again some other day (not tomorrow either!).

I need some natural light, pretty natural light, not dark skies.

If all goes well I will be putting up some photos on the blog soon - wish me luck!

Heart on my sleeve

It seems like I am having a heart filled week...

Less than two weeks to go...

Time is running out.
I am excited, but also a little apprehensive about the zelfgemaakte markt.
At least I have been really productive and I've made some pieces that I really like. But will anyone else like them?
